Supporters of immigration reform are 99% sure that there will be an immigration question on next year's ballot, according to the Cortez Journal. From the article, "A few conservative activists in the state are looking toward next year for gaining ballot status on a potential bill aimed at cracking down on illegal immigrant population and benefits, such as welfare dollars. The initiative is aimed at denying nonemergency and taxpayer services like health care, welfare and education to illegal aliens, according to Fred Elbel, director of the Colorado Alliance for Immigration."
Voters may get a chance to kick Rollie Heath again, according to the Denver Post [October 28, 2005, "Dem defeated by Owens looks at another run"]. From the article, "Rollie Heath, the Democrats' unsuccessful nominee for governor in 2002, said Thursday that he is considering another run for the state's top office. 'I think the key word is that I'm 'thinking' about it,' Heath said. 'Obviously I had a dream back then and it's safe to say that I've never given up on that dream.' Heath, a 67-year-old business executive who lives in Boulder, said he would make a decision before the end of the year."
